Delbarton came out of the gates firing, took the lead, and never looked back in decisive game against rival West Morris Central. West Morris fought hard the entire game, but could not up end the Green Wave who took home a 55-48 victory.

The Wolfpack were slow to start the game, and appeared not ready for the Green Wave’s full court pressure. The zone press of the Delbarton caused many turnovers and lead to easy baskets for the Green Wave. As good as Delbarton’s defense was their offense was even better. Delbarton’s dynamic duo of Dean Brierly and Tom Killian contributed for 17 of their teams 27 points in the first half.

West Morris guards Derek Kambour and Chris Gaudio were the bright spots for the Wolfpack in the first contributed with high intensity defense and 8 of the teams 16 points.

As the second half whistle blew West Morris came out with high energy. They were hitting on all cylinders in the second half, and brought the differential to within five with 3:45 left in the third.

Delbarton came out of the time out and answered quickly with a three pointer by Killian, and the Green Wave regained the momentum.

From that point on the Wolfpack kept fighting behind their captains James D’Angelo and Tim Drzewinski. D’Angelo had 16 of his 18 points in the second half while Drzewinski produced 6 points.

Down the stretch Killian proved to be too much hitting back to back threes and finishing the night with a game high 29 points. Delbarton also received contributions from Mick Moran, and Mitch Lawrence who together donated 11 points. As usual Wolfpack guard Tom Cabarle gave it his all, hitting the floor numerous times while putting up 8 points. Although all the players gave it their all they were merely a shadow to Delbarton’s Tom Killian.
